Moths

Clothes and carpet moths do an extraordinary amount of costly damage to clothes, carpets and natural fabrics. An infestation can go undetected initially but, once discovered, prompt and thorough treatment is needed to prevent further damage.

Although there are many hundreds of types of moths in the British Isles, only there are only four species of clothes moths. The commonest are silvery grey, just over a centimetre in length, and fold their wings back over their bodies.

The moths lay their eggs in the clothes or carpets and the grubs hatch and do most of the damage.

Fleas

​Fleas are mainly brought in by cats and dogs and can quickly become a pest. Treating flea infestations involves eradicating the insect in all the stages of its development. The eggs and larvae can often be found in the rooms frequented by the affected animals, in carpets or soft furnishings.

The females produce eggs after a meal of blood and can lay 2,000 eggs in a lifetime.They will hatch in a little over a week. Fleas jump huge distances relative to their size and will move rapidly through hair and carpets.
